This is a very whimsical and unique story, yet I still found it boring. A lot of the time I didn’t know what was going on, a lot of characters and a plot that honestly feels like a fever dream with very vivid imagery which I guess is impressive but I didn’t like it, the writing is not bad at all but this one just wasn’t for me.

An exceptional satire of the Soviet Union, The Master and Margarita is concerned with two major plots which intersect: the arrival of Satan (or Woland) to Moscow with his followers and the havoc they wreak, and the love story between Margarita Nikolaevna and The Master. The story of The Master parallels the difficulties Mikhail Bulgakov encountered as a writer in the Soviet Union, and many of the acronyms, artists, and bureaucrats encountered throughout the book vaguely parallel real people and situations. The devil’s arrival in Moscow satirizes the state atheism of the society and its rejection of Christs historicity, which forms the opening thrust of the narratives events and is paralleled in the story of Pontius Pilate and Yeshua, which is delivered ‘accurately’ in sequence by both Woland and The Master’s unpublished novel.
There is a lot more which can be said of the novel, which I am not adequately qualified to speak on. The book is filled with rich symbolism and Soviet cultural references which may be missed by or confusing to casual readers like myself. Overall I feel the book is excellent and definitely invites more detailed study by those interested in really penetrating the depths of its complexity.
